Their percentage, especially this early, fluctuates a lot. Some people don't realize they signed up for the monthly subscription, so then they pull out and it makes the percentage drop.
Five months back, there was a small convo about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/BitChute/comments/ekcdni/why_does_the_bitchute_funding_progress_keep/
The big thing is, their monthly subs are usually their only revenue, with substantially fewer people donating on a one-time-basis.
They're at 62% now, but the chances of that number going up much higher is low, and the chances of that number dropping lower is high.

And they shut down Candace Owen's GoFundMe for the Conservative busniesses that were burnt down by those niggers because it was 'hateful.'
(I know that doesn't really meet the point you were making, I just want to say that as often as possible)

why do they need so much money?
[–] TestForScience [S] 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago (edited ago)
This page shows you what they use the money for and in what order:
https://www.bitchute.com/help-us-grow/
Basic infrastructure (servers) [Has been met]
Basic Operations Team [Has been met]
Basic Support Team [Has been met]
Basic Development Team [Has been met]
Additional Support Team member [Has been met]
Additional Development Team Member [Has NOT been met]
Improved Infrastructure [Has NOT been met]
Management Can Get Paid [Has NOT been met]
They're a company with employees and expenses.
$30,000 * 12months = $360,000

maybe if they stopped all the clone accounts / impersonators i'd consider contributing.

Seems like if it was a decentralized platform that 30K a month is pretty high for server costs.
Seems like if they were a decentralized platform that much of the heavy lifting would be performed by individuals donating their storage space and networking.
Seems like BitChute pretends to be a decentralized network but serves all of their content from two server spaces.
BitChute has already existed for too long on the promise of decentralization, but hasn't followed through. Within the last six months I discovered a service called LBRY that is actually decentralized. I suggest people take this opportunity to find other services and move on from the fallacy that is BitChute. Not out of anger or protest, but because it's just trading one weak point in communication for another singular weak point.

I know some people are strapped for cash right now, so if you can't, then don't.
(Yes, I've donated, I'm not being a fag that tells people to do things I wont do)

The Christchurch video was made illegal. There's nothing they could do about that.
